DescriptionFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A computer is a programmable machine that receives input, stores and automatically manipulates data, and provides output in a useful format. Mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history. The first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). Originally, they were the size of a lar

ge room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and can be powered by a small battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most numerous. History of computing
The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued with the same meaning until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century onwards, the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, describing a machine that carries out computations.

The ancient Mayans possessed a sophisticated knowledge of astronomy, creating precise celestial charts and calendars through meticulous observation. While their advanced understanding has fueled modern speculation about extraterrestrial contact, these theories are not supported by archaeological evidence. The scientific consensus is that the Mayans' remarkable astronomical achievements were the product of their own ingenuity and rich intellectual traditions.

Tricia Ann Anda's Graduation speech on behalf of all the graduates.

Let me ask you something. What if the person most deserving of this medal never got one?

What if the real valedictorians are not the ones standing on the stage, but are quietly seated among you right now?

If I could remove this medal from my neck and give it someone else, I would. I would hand it to my classmate who worked online jobs and part-time shifts between classes, some with cracked phones, borrowed laptops, selling food, art, anything just to make ends meet.

To the ones who caught chips at dawn, who walked under the heat or in the rain, who paid their own tuition because no one else could.

To those who showed up with tired eyes but hearts that refused to quit; to the one who studied through tears, who cried in silence but still made it to class with a smile. They never complained, and they never asked to be seen, but I saw them.

Because maybe I earned the highest GPA, but they earned my deepest respect. If I may be honest with all of you, I lived comfortably my whole life. I did not have to worry about tuition. I did not have to wake up at 4:00 AM to catch a jeep or walk to school before sunrise.

I did not have to juggle work between classes just to pay enrollment. From preschool up to fourth year college, I was driven to school. My meals were served, my uniforms ironed. All I had to do was to show up.

And that is when I understood what a chrysalis is. It is where strength grows quietly in places no one applauds, that some of the strongest wings form in silence. Their strength humbled me.

Their quiet resilience taught me. And though I may not have lived their story, I saw them, I admire them, and I carry their courage with me. So today, as we leave our chrysalis behind, let us not just fly for ourselves, but become wings for others too.

And before I close, allow me to honor the many hands and hearts behind today's moment.

To the parents and families of the graduates, thank you for the countless sacrifices and unwavering love.

To our janitors, guards, and maintenance staff, thank you for the clean rooms, safe gates, and silent service.

To the one whose name I've whispered in every prayer, thank you, Jesus. You carried me through it all, and this victory is yours. Indeed, there is power in the name of Jesus. And one day, the world will ask us, "Where did you come from?"

And tears and pride, we will answer,

"I came from La Salle, where I was not just prepared to succeed but called to serve."

Because here we were not just trained for the finish line, we were formed for the front lines. The chrysalis was our training ground, quiet, messy and unseen.

But now the wings are out. And as we fly, may we carry not just ambition, but kindness, courage, purpose, and humility. Fly high, yes, but fly wisely. Fly proud. Fly Lasallian.

And wherever we go from here, may we always fly toward the daylight.

Thank you and Congratulations to the class of 2025.

Animo La Salle!

Researchers from Tsinghua University and BIGAI have introduced a groundbreaking AI model called Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR), which learns entirely without human-provided training data. Using a unique self-play framework, AZR generates its own tasks, solves them through reasoning (deduction, abduction, and induction), and improves by evaluating and adjusting its own code executions. Remarkably, AZR surpasses traditional supervised models in coding and math benchmarks—despite never being exposed to real-world data. This breakthrough challenges conventional AI training approaches and signals a potential shift toward autonomous, self-improving AI systems with minimal human input.

The Yuxi Circle, centered on Yuxi in Yunnan, China, spans a 4,000 km radius and contains over 50% of the world's population, about 4 billion people; despite covering less than 10% of Earth's land surface, highlighting Asia's extreme population density.

In recent years, some scientists and theorists have proposed that death, as we traditionally understand it, may not be the absolute end. According to concepts in quantum physics, particularly those linked to consciousness and reality, death might be more of an illusion than a final termination.

One of the most discussed theories comes from Dr. Robert Lanza, a prominent scientist known for his work in regenerative medicine and quantum biology. In his theory of Biocentrism, Lanza suggests that life and consciousness are fundamental to the universe—not the other way around. He argues that we do not die in the way we think, because death cannot exist in a timeless, spaceless world as described by quantum mechanics.

Quantum physics has shown that particles exist in multiple states simultaneously—a phenomenon known as superposition. Only when observed does a particle "choose" a state, suggesting that consciousness plays a key role in shaping reality. Extending this idea, Lanza proposes that death is merely a transition to another reality or dimension our consciousness creates or moves into.

Moreover, quantum entanglement shows that particles can be connected across vast distances instantly, defying traditional notions of space and time. This leads to speculation that consciousness, too, may be "entangled" with the universe in ways we don't yet fully understand.

While these ideas are still theoretical and highly debated within the scientific community, they challenge the traditional, materialist view that consciousness ends with the physical body. Instead, quantum physics opens the door to the possibility that life—and by extension, consciousness—may continue in ways we are only beginning to explore.

In this sense, death might not be a true end, but a transition of awareness, hidden behind the limits of our current understanding.
